DearFriend,

Ireceived today from Karpinsky myFirst
Letter, which you apparently managed to send him. Thanks.

Thereis no Second Letter. You received it, didn’t you?? Then
where is it?

Letters3and 4 forPravdaI shall send to you tomorrow,
Wednesday. When you have read them and shown them to Usiyevich, please
forward them to the Karpinskys. I have a lecture here
			       today.[1]

It’sinteresting what you will have to say about Letter No. 3—during
our talks.

Allthe very best,Yours,Lenin

P.S.I thought you would inform me by postcard that my letter had been
forwarded to Karpinsky and yesterday I wrote to Usiyevich, believing that
you had gone away.
